DuffMan (2721), the land of bitumen, beef & beer, Alberta, Canada Oct 29, 2006 Scotland makes some great fall/winter brews! This is excellent-- dark red-brown, tan head. Rich aromas of smoky caramel, a little peaty. Very flavourful, sweet but a bitter finish rounds it out. Rich and satisfying. Quevillon (1518), Sainte-Thérèse, Quebec, Canada Oct 28, 2006 Bouteille de 500 lm de HodTownHarry. Belle couleur terre cuite foncée, petit collet qui reste. Petit arrome de malte caramelisé avec une sensation de scotch adorable. Goût un peu fumé, faiblemen sucré, pas trop de malte. Gr0ve (1382), Oslo, Norway Oct 25, 2006 500 ml bottle. Dark brown with a red hue and an average-sized cream white head that clings to the glass. Crisp nutty and marzipan-like sweet aroma. Caramel malts and roasted malts. Distinct bitter and sweet flavour. Quite sharp bitterness balances the roasted toffee and coffee-like burnt malt flavour. More mellow mouthfeel and a long grassy bitter finish. Malt candy flavour. Quite nice actually. nimbleprop (819), SouthWest, Washington, Washington DC, USA Oct 23, 2006 Poured a clear dark copper brown from the bottle with almost no fizzy off white head. Slightly malty aroma, but little smell to speak of. Malty flavor and the malted barley adds a bit of spice. The taste is easy on the palate and watery but potent. RichJ7 (1175), Cullman, Alabama, USA Oct 19, 2006 Pours a dark amber with ruby highlights with a decent-sized tan head. Nice aroma of sweet malt. Flavor is sweet, lightly roasted malts and caramel ... a soft taste not unlike a Wychwood brew. Mild hop finish, lightly astringent. A pleasant beer.
